Sound
TheBREAX sound can be described as an artistic concoction of Kanye West soulful swagger, Saul Williams Spoken Word Poetry, the live instrumentation of the Roots, and the spirit of U2.
Their signature ?Breaking out of the box? sound is a flavor that defies conventional songwriting with a combination of energy and precision. Mixing musical genres, while maintaining their own style has given them the ability to reach a wide array of people.

Beginnings
TheBREAX exploded on the Southern California hip hop and Spoken word scene and took it by storm with incredible performances, becoming crowd favorites at Elevated, Vibes and the Hot Monkey Love Cafe, three of San Diego?s largest open mic venues.

Performances
The group continued to electrify audiences, sharing the stage with notables such as: Tonex, Fred Hammond, 4th Avenue Jones, Pigeon John, The Visionaries, LMNO, LA Symphony, Future Shock, and Guinness Book Record Holder, Supernatural.

Crew
Ruslan is also part of the crew Gallery Drive, consisting of ArtOfacT, Afaar, Insufficient Funds (TruthBTold, sINAi, Benjamin D) and NomiS.

Albums
After the success of previous works like Ruslan's album "Out of Order" (2004), featuring on "Thoughts Aloud: The Mixtape" (2005), the crew released their critically acclaimed self-titled album "TheBREAX" in 2007.

Rawkus Records
